Subtitled A Little Suite for Four, the first movement features a unison melody written in B minor. In the second movement, a leitmotiv with variations and the use of repeated jazz phrases is presented; all four instruments take turns in assuming primary and supporting roles. The third movement is a ballad-like theme featuring soprano and baritone sax sharing a pleasant conversation. The fourth movement goes on a joyful melodic ride passing through all the saxophones parts, one after the other.

Crossover Suite No. 1 comprises of five stylistically very diverse movements. 1. Introduction: A brisk opening leads to a bass groove on baritone saxophone. Various animated stylistic elements such as finger snaps are contrasted with 'straighter' elements familiar from march music. 2. Viennese Waltz: A waltz in a minor key, with the characteristic and unmistakable accompaniment in the Viennese style. 3. Roundabout: Roundabout is a rondo with recurring motifs and a point of rest in the adagio. 4. Stomps and Claps: As the name suggests, the work is performed with the help of hands and feet. Body percussion alternates with technically demanding passages. 5. Finale: A rapid final movement with a dolce middle part leads to a furious closing section with changes of meter and some dynamic surprises. Each movement can also stand on its own, but when performed as a complete suite this compositition shows off the full breadth and capability of a saxophone quartet.

Etude IV. from 12 Etudes in All the Minor Keys. Arranged for saxophone quartet by Matt Evans.
Matt Evans is a saxophonist in the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own.” He is a founding member of the Zzyzx Quartet, Project Fusion and the Eastman Saxophone Project (ESP), and is a laureate of the Fischoff, Plowman, Coleman, J.C. Arriaga, and MTNA competitions.
One of the most pleasant surprises I’ve had in my composing life was my accidental discovery of the Zzyzx Quartet’s arrangement of this etude. If asked, I would have never thought that my piece could be adapted to the medium of the sax quartet! But Matt Evans’ ingenuity as an arranger, coupled with a genuinely masterful performance which managed to capture the true spirit of the work, convinced me completely. I am so happy to have a small part in contributing to the sax quartet literature! - Marc-Andre Hamelin

This quartet was written to cater for developing quartets and players, who may not have access to a baritone saxophone. It features four themed sections, each one capturing a different mood and style. A fast 6/8, a lyrical 3/4, a melancholy 4/4 with a more imposing final section and a reprise of the 6/8 section to finish with. With more than a touch of jazz to the harmonies, a great short piece for lower grade players.

These saxophone quartets are available together with a play-along CD, offering every musician of the quartet the possibility of working on his part at home---in addition to quartet rehearsals. The written parts do not include the phrasings of the improvisations on the CD, which is meant to induce the students to imitate those phrasings. Imitation is an essential step on the students' way to learning how to phrase in jazz. These solos are by no means obligatory. The notated chords serve as a basis for those who wish to improvise and create their own solos.
